Pokémon: My Farm Adventures

After Sakura and Natsume completed their handover, she left directly.

Natsume felt that Sakura was not an ordinary employee.

Eight million in crops, and she could easily make decisions about it.

Of course, Natsume wasn't interested in discovering Sakura's true identity.

If she could make decisions like that, it made things easier for him as well.

Farm Task: The fruit woods of the farm have been completed.

Quest Reward: Treasure draw *1.

"Heracross~"

The Heracross looked around at the Leppa Berry tree seedlings and Oran Berry tree seedlings, showing satisfied expressions.

They hoped that these little tree seedlings would grow quickly.

This way, they would have more tree juice to drink!

Additionally, both Oran Berries and Leppa Berries are quite delicious foods.

Thinking about their happy life on the farm, the Heracross smiled contentedly.

After planting all the Leppa Berry trees and Oran Berry trees, the sky had already darkened.

Natsume sat under an apple tree and opened Farm Story.

Natsume clicked on the treasure draw.

Notice: You have obtained charcoal.

Charcoal, Fire type treasure.

"Arcanine."

Natsume called Arcanine to his side.

"Awooo~"

Arcanine happily wagged its tail and ran over.

"Arcanine, this is for you."

Natsume handed the charcoal to Arcanine.

Arcanine opened its mouth and bit down on the charcoal, tilting its head back as it swallowed it.

A searing flame instantly enveloped Arcanine's body.

Notice: Arcanine used charcoal, and Arcanine's level increased to 394,246.

Notice: Arcanine's Special Attack rose to 31.

Arcanine learned a new move: Fire Blast.

"Awooo~"

Arcanine let out an excited howl.

Arcanine took a deep breath.

Whoosh!

A large burst of flame shot up into the night sky.

The fire illuminated the surroundings.

Bang~

The flame exploded in the air, splattering like stars all around.

It was beautiful.

Natsume thought to himself.

The firelight fell on the tree seedlings.

A small tree seedling started to smoke.

"Heracross!"

One Heracross hurriedly jumped up and pounced on it.

This Heracross used its hands to extinguish the flames.

"Heracross."

The Heracross sighed in relief as it sat on the ground, wiping its forehead.

That scared the Heracross to death.

These were all their future food.

Natsume raised his hand in irritation.

Bang~

Natsume gave Arcanine a light smack on the head.

"Arcanine, no playing with fire here from now on."

"Awooo~"

Arcanine covered its head with its paw, slightly embarrassed, and slipped into the middle of the Houndoom.

"Houndoom~"

The Houndoom Leader licked Arcanine's fur.

Their relationship seemed to have become better without them even realizing it.

Natsume stood up and said to all the Pokémon, "Thank you for your hard work today; let's get ready to eat."

Rotom chimed in, "Leavanny has already prepared the Hearty Grains, Plump Beans, and Springy Mushrooms for everyone~"

"Dragonite~"

Upon hearing that it was mealtime, everyone showed happy expressions.

After dinner, the hardworking Diglett dug themselves a residence underground on the farm.

The Heracross simply lay down in the fruit woods.

As Bug type Pokémon, the orchard was their best habitat.

Inside the farm cottage, the TV was playing the news.

The Millennial Comet is expected to arrive in three days.

This means that if all goes well, Jirachi will officially awaken from its sleep in three days.

The evening breeze flowed through the wide-open courtyard doors into the room.

The white sheer curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows fluttered slightly.

Dragonite was laying down in the courtyard, dozing off.

Ralts was helping Cinccino clean the room.

Natsume sat on the sofa.

With one hand, Natsume gently stroked the soft little ears of Buneary, while the other hand played with his phone, checking the task progress in the farm.

The farm now wanted to continue expanding, which meant large-scale tree cutting was necessary.

After some consideration, Natsume decided to visit the Pokémon Trainer Association first thing tomorrow morning.

Natsume wanted to apply to become a Gym Leader.

Registering as a Gym Leader would not only help Natsume secure more land but, more importantly, assist him in completing those battle tasks.

Natsume began to plan what he needed to do tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Natsume would visit the Trainer Association in Morimachi.

The Diglett could re-cultivate the land and then plant the new batch of Hearty Grains and Plump Beans.

Considering Watanabe's order, the Plump Beans needed to expand to a planting area of five acres.

One acre can produce about 2,000 pounds of Plump Beans.

However, with the addition of Swadloon, the value of the Plump Beans could see an increase of about 20-30%.

The extra Plump Beans could be kept for personal use.

The same goes for the Springy Mushrooms that Fujiwara ordered.

The demand for Springy Mushrooms is not very high.

Natsume planned to increase the greenhouse to one acre.

Sandslash and the others were already familiar with the planting process.

Natsume could fully entrust these tasks to them.

In three days, Jirachi's limited-time event would begin.

According to the event description, all crops on the farm would mature within these seven days.

Natsume put down his phone, stood up from the sofa, and said, "Let's go, Buneary, it's time for a bath~"

"Buneary~"

Buneary jumped off the sofa and hopped after Natsume as they headed upstairs.

Tonight, everything was peaceful.

The next morning.

Over Morimachi.

After patrolling the farm in the morning, Natsume rode Dragonite directly toward the Trainer Association in Morimachi.

The Trainer Association building in Morimachi is the tallest building in the city.

It handles all matters related to trainers.

"Dragonite, let's land."

"Dragonite~"

Two Pidgey were perched on the rooftop.

Upon seeing Dragonite land, they immediately flapped their wings and left.

Dragonite scratched its head, watching them fly away.

Natsume patted Dragonite's body and said, "You can go into your Poké Ball now."

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite nodded and then entered the Poké Ball.

"Ralts, find out where the office is in this building."

Natsume said to Ralts, who was following beside him.

"Ralts~"

Ralts used Inner Focus to scan the building.

"Ralts~"

Ralts and Natsume's bodies flickered.

In an instant, they disappeared from their location.

Inside the building, at the association's service center.

As soon as Natsume appeared here, he was immediately surrounded by a cacophony of discussions.

Someone at the service window impatiently said, "Because of the requirements from the construction site, my Onix needs to apply for a city pass!"

The receptionist explained, "If it's for construction needs, you must first obtain a permit from the construction bureau before we can issue you a pass."

"Onix is very large and can easily cause damage to the city."

"If any damage occurs, we will hold the responsible party accountable for compensation."

"If you don't go to the construction bureau for a permit and something happens, you will be liable."

A middle-aged man in a gray jacket stood at the window and said, "This is the situation."

"My downstairs neighbor thinks my house is too noisy, so they want to have a Pokémon battle with me."

"So, my Aipom fought with his Machamp downstairs."

"As a result, my Aipom got knocked away by his Machamp and crashed into a passerby, sending them to the hospital. I just want to know if I'm not responsible?"

"Because my Aipom got hurt too."

The receptionist replied with irritation, "What are you thinking?"

"If it's in a residential building, both of you are responsible for this matter."

"Additionally, the residential area is equipped with battle arenas, so please have your battles in the arena next time."

An angry woman wearing sunglasses shouted, "That Helioptile was clearly discovered by me! Why can't it be ruled that he stole someone else's Pokémon?"

The receptionist asked, "When did you discover that Pokémon?"

"A week ago! I originally planned to capture that Helioptile, but it got away."

"But then, I found out it was captured by someone else, and he even posted about it online to show off!"

The receptionist sighed, "So, you discovered Helioptile a week ago and didn't catch it."

"And now, a week later, this Helioptile was captured by someone completely unknown to you."

"And you want the person who captured Helioptile to give it to you?"

The woman nodded, "Yes!"

"Is there a problem with that?"

The receptionist: "..."

This job is truly unmanageable.

Natsume looked around, found the arguments amusing.

"Hello, may I ask what you need to process?"

In the lobby, a staff member responsible for directing approached Natsume.

Natsume explained, "I'd like to apply to become a Gym Leader."

"Apply to become a Gym Leader?"

The staff member looked at Natsume with some surprise at his age.

He tentatively asked, "May I ask if you have ever won a Regional Tournament Champion title?"

"Or have obtained a Country-level Gym badge?"

The staff member glanced at Ralts beside Natsume.

He thought: Having a Ralts should indicate some strength.

Natsume shook his head, "I haven't battled in a gym, nor have I participated in a Regional Tournament."

"My profession is just a farm owner."

The staff member paused for a moment, looking at Natsume with a strange expression.

He thought to himself: This guy must have gotten lucky to have a Ralts.

After all, a Pokémon like Ralts might really prefer someone who works on a farm every day.

Although the staff member had this thought in mind, he still smiled and said, "If that's the case, please take a number and wait in line."

Natsume looked at the number machine and saw that 58 people were ahead of him.

Natsume asked, "If I have proof of strength, can I skip the wait?"

The staff member nodded, "Of course."

"If you're a Regional Tournament Champion, we'd probably ask you directly if you have plans to open a gym."

"I see."

Natsume understood, "So, if I can prove that I have the ability to be a Gym Leader, I can use the fast track even without a Champion trophy, right?"

"That's correct."

The staff member seemed a bit impatient: "However, a strong Trainer's most direct proof is a Regional Tournament Champion title or a Country-level Gym badge."

Natsume asked, "If I have a Dragonite, would that also prove my strength?"

The staff member paused for a moment and smiled, "Please hurry and take a number to wait."

"Today looks like it will be quite busy."

The staff member smiled on the outside but thought in his heart: Oh sure, you have a Dragonite.

I have a Salamence too, what a dreamer.

Every day, there are all sorts of people around.

The Trainer Association has to handle various conflicts between people and Pokémon.

The staff here have seen all kinds of unusual people and situations.

Ralts looked at the staff member and said, "Natsume, he said he has a Salamence."

Natsume took out a Poké Ball: "Dragonite, say hello."

Shimmer~ Stare~

"Dragonite~"

Dragonite yawned.

The previously noisy and bustling service hall instantly fell silent at the sight of Natsume's Dragonite.

"Wow, Dragonite!"

"Whose Pokémon is this?"

"Goodness, did someone important come by?"

Everyone's attention immediately focused on Dragonite.

The staff member was momentarily stunned.

"Dragonite?"

Dragonite waved its hand in front of him.

The clerk mumbled, "Wow, it really is a Dragonite."

"Mr. Mime~"

At that moment, a Mr. Mime suddenly appeared beside Natsume.

"Mr. Mime~"

Mr. Mime gestured for Natsume to follow.

"Come back, Dragonite."

Natsume didn't care about the gazes from the surrounding people.

Natsume recalled Dragonite into its Poké Ball and then followed Mr. Mime to the nearby elevator.

"Dude, please don't report me."

The staff member suddenly said with a glum face, "I only make three thousand yen a month; I never expected to see a Dragonite here."

Natsume wouldn't complain about such things.

He waved slightly and then entered the elevator with Mr. Mime.

This Mr. Mime had the potential to be a Gym Leader.

Its level was exactly 50.

Mr. Mime led Natsume to a room labeled Kaichou office.

"Mr. Mime~"

Mr. Mime brought Natsume inside.

Inside the office sat a man in his fifties.

When he saw Natsume and Mr. Mime, he stood up and politely said, "Hello, I'm Yamada, the Kaichou of the Morimachi Trainer Association."

"I'm Yamada. You can just call me Yamada Kaichou."

"My name is Natsume, and I currently run a farm," Natsume introduced himself and got straight to the point: "I want to open a gym, so I've come to ask about the necessary procedures."

"The purpose of a gym is to inspire trainers in the city."

"If a gym's reputation is high enough, it can even drive the city's economic development."

"So, you just need to demonstrate the appropriate strength."

After explaining, Yamada Kaichou added, "Of course, having a Dragonite already proves your strength."

"After all, Pokémon like Dragonite, which are near-legendary, are rare. In all of Hokkaido, only the Gym Leader of Sakura Gym has a Goodra."

Sakura Gym is a Regional gym.

Trainers who earn eight Regional gym badges can participate in the regional championship.

The so-called regional championship refers to a league composed of six provinces in the Eastern Region. There are also the Northern Region, Southern Region, Western Region, and Central Region.

Yamada Kaichou enthusiastically asked Natsume, "So, where do you plan to build your gym?"

Owning a Dragonite means Natsume's gym has the potential at least to advance to become a Regional gym.

The presence of a Regional gym can significantly impact a city's economic development.

Natsume said, "I want to build the gym in Rice Fragrance Village."

"Additionally, as a farm owner, I need to purchase the surrounding land."

Yamada Kaichou immediately looked up the geographical location of Rice Fragrance Village.

"This location is quite remote."

After some consideration, Yamada Kaichou said, "There's no problem with land development."

"The Trainer Association can cover the construction costs for the gym."

"We'll help you negotiate with the villagers."

"But, if villagers need to relocate, the compensation will need to be paid by you."

Natsume had no objections to this: "That's fair."

Yamada Kaichou advised, "However, before the contract is signed, I suggest you keep your plans to build a gym confidential."

"Otherwise, there's a risk that villagers might raise the price."

Natsume nodded slightly, "I understand."

"Alright, the last thing."

Yamada Kaichou took off his jacket and looked at Natsume, "Do you mind having a Pokémon battle with me?"
